BONES OUT TO PLAY .

With the weather not bad i made a late decision to take out the boat for a spin down to port soderick and see what species were about .There were lots of mackie and launce ,and codling some sizeable but i put them all back to fight another day .i had a couple of gurnards when i could get past the mackie.there was not much else around and the large tide meant that the drifts and holding bottom was hard work .Came back to the douglas mark having seen Merit 1 on their way home and they were closely followed by Trampie . i was fishing with the normal baited shrimp rig on one rod and had a 3hook scratchy boom rig with strips of mackie on 1/0 hooks .Herei had more codling which all went back as barely sizeable ,the for a mad 10minute spell i kept getting whiting on both rigs .Things then went quiet again so decided to head for home and have a nice cold beer As a small foot note to this report young Luke Dolan had a day out with the big boys of merit1 today and caught these two loverly fish a pollack and a nice red cod for tea .Weldone to young Luke
